Enrolled or Admitted?

<p>I'm a Junior that is interested in knowing which one is more important at the UC's, the Stats of the students enrolled or the stats of the students admitted. I know the admitted profile shows the avg of ppl that they accept. But the enrolled profile shows the avg stats of the ppl that actually go to that college. I thought enrolled might be more important because like....say UCD accepts all or almost all kids with 4.0 and 1600...that makes there admitted profiles go up, but the people that actually attend have stats like a 3.7(weighted) and an 1170 Sat score. So can some one tell me which one is more important? Thanks.</p>

<p>I guess that depends what you want to know</p>

<p>If you want to know what your chances are like, then admitted is more important
If you want to know what the students there are like, then enrolled is more important</p>

<p>Ok thanks morningtheft. But couldnt the avg of the enrolled students help you with your chances since those are the stats of the students that actually go. And if your stats are like that wouldnt u be like a match for that school?? For instance like if their admitted stats are like a 3.91 and 1260 but their enrolled is a 3.7 1170...would you be a match if you had a 3.7 1170???</p>

<p>Does any one else know which one is important?</p>

<p>i think admitted would be more important, b/c the universities have no control over who actually decides to enroll there. one year, it could be all the 4.0 GPA and 1600 SAT score students who decide to enroll, and the next year it could be all the 3.7 GPA and 1200 SAT score students who decide to enroll.</p>

<p>also, i dunno if this helps... but...
i'm applying to Syracuse University. their SAT average is 1200-something. i talked to the admissions people because i was concerned due to my low SAT scores (1100--- yikes!!) and they said that their average is just that- an <em>average</em>, meaning that some people have less than a 1200-something and some people have more. even if your SAT score falls below the "average", you'll still have a chance if you have decent grades and good EC's.</p>

<p>good luck!!</p>
